Finely chop the leek and herbs. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs together. Add the baking powder, fenugreek, turmeric and salt. Fold in the chopped herbs, leeks and dried cranberries.
Heat the olive oil in a 20cm oven-proof pan over a medium heat. Add the herb-egg mixture and stir constantly for the first 5 minutes. Make sure it’s evenly distributed in the pan, then cover with a lid and cook undisturbed until the bottom and edges are just set, approx. 5-10 minutes.
Remove the lid and transfer to the oven. Bake for a further 5 minutes, or until the top is golden and the middle is set through.
Serve topped with pomegranate rubies and chopped fresh herbs.
